Olivier is a French TV caster and also a writer. He lives in the greatest district of Paris: Abbesses, the part of Paris! He ‘s an intense man who wanted to be tattooed since he was 12 years old. He got his first tattoo when he was 17. Tattoo is a kind of a secret book where you can write your private life, your feelings and your psychogical scars. According to him, a tattoo is a form of bodily protection, a way to save his skin. Likewise, tattooing is an art, an organic expression. I love his mind.

He likes a lot of artists, but he has a special affection for Martine Barrat, a photographer he discovered during an exhibition on Larry Clark. A picture on show by the artist struck him, which is entitled « Gleason gym ». In it you see a kid getting ready to get in the ring and fix the goal.
